I went into an operators warehouse years ago here, and bought what I wanted, and made a list of what was left. I took the list of stuff home after paying for my games (about 12) with the plan to pick them up the next week when I had a big truck, and talked to a friend who asked me to grab a Stern Big Game for him. I called the op right back, and he told me it was 'no longer available' - turns out, he had tossed it in a dumpster when I showed no interest.

I explained to him that I'd buy anything for *some* price, but would only pay good prices for the stuff I really wanted. A couple months later, he called me, saying his lease was up the following Monday, and I got his remaining pinballs and a used truck with a liftgate for next to nothing...

I often think of that Big Game. Wish I could've saved it.

I another friend a Flash Gordon and a Pinball Pool for $125 each in that lot.
